- Day Eight -
The Most Common Reason Your Sims Die
I will say that yes, I've had a lot of sims die of old age. At least, in the past, they did. However, if you look at the course of my story over the past year, there was one death from old age (Farah Kane). The rest were all forced upon them by things beyond their control. Let's see:
During Desperate Sims:
Carl Strummer: Murdered by Chandra Hawkins
Chandra Hawkins: Accidentally Killed by Meredith Kane
Emerald Greenwood: Car Crash
Jerod Grant: Mercilessly Beheaded by Jebidiah Kane
Off-Season/Yet to Happen:
Gaston Kane: "Accidental" Drowning
1+ Sims: Murdered in Desperate Sims' Current Season
So that's at *least* 6 sims that have died for the sake of story, over the last year-and-a-half. It's not even for amusement, though. Every choice I've made to kill someone off was NOT made because they annoyed me, but because that's the way the story needed to unfold, and they had no choice but to suffer the whims of my tale-spinning. Some of the deaths were extremely painful for me, even, and it took all my initiative not to back out of them. But, at the end of the day: the story is more important.
And if there's one thing I can swear to: there will be more to come. /Mwahaha!

Who's Gaston Kane? I feel like I should know this, but I don't.
He was before the start of Desperate Sims; Jebidiah's grandmother, Kaylee, had a twin sister named Karamel. Karamel married Gaston and had one son by him, at which point I felt things were getting too "fluffy" in my game... So, since he was 'hydrophobic', I decided for him to trip and fall into a pool and drown, because he "couldn't swim".
It's funny how even before I started writing it all out, my game had a vast amount of stories. Maybe someday I'll share them. :)
Oooh... it'd be sooooo cool if you shared them! Thanks!
That's awesome, Kaleeko. I love killing Sims off in creative ways, but I've only killed off the one person in my story so far, and we all know who that is. I haven't decided if the murderer will make it past the finale, however, because of that awesome new pose pack I found.... MOOHAHAHAHA. I promise to come to you for advice on murdering Sims, as you're so darn good at it.
Most common death in my legacy style games is still by old age.
But the Sammy stories have seen a few other deaths. The black widow caused 2 starvations, 1 drowning and 2 by fire. I tried but wasn't close to electrocuting anyone except by cheat. Sam was drown in one of his first stories.
You sure have some creative deaths! I'm still hoping that one day I'll have some sims wiped out by meteor. *makes note to put in more telescopes around town*
I have had a few accidental electrocutions when I want to shake things up. That just sounds so wrong!
Oh your such a devil Kaleeko. ;) Creative license indeed! I admire story tellers that have the guts to kill off a character. I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. lol
